Broncos depth chart observations: Who’s winning on defensive line

Although veteran Justin Bannan has been sidelined through most of training camp, he is starting alongside defensive tackle Ty Warren at defensive tackle. As it should be.

Second-round rookie Derek Wolfe, a defensive tackle by trade, is listed as the No. 2 left end behind Jason Hunter. Ideally, Wolfe plays end on running downs and moves inside to tackle in the nickel package. Remember, Von Miller moves from strongside linebacker to end in the nickel.

Kevin Vickerson and Mitch Unrein are the No. 2 defensive tackles with Sealver Siliga, who played with the No. 1 unit throughout the OTAs and minicamp, is third string along with fifth-round rookie Malik Jackson.

Ben Garland, trying to make the team after serving a two-year military commitment by way of the Air Force Academy, is No. 4 string.
